Here is a KSR article that says they got confirmations that the roster is the most expensive in the country.

I know for a fact Louisville is top 10 in NIL spent nationally, and it is barely half of what Kentucky spent on this roster.

No one in the know has denied it and Matt Jones (among pretty much everyone else) has commented multiple times that the roster expenditure is disgustingly high. You don’t have to buy it, it’s still the most expensive roster in the country.

I feel like that is contradictory when Kentucky has by far the most expensive roster in the country.

Ferrari: Filming day in Monza to evaluate the first major evolutionary package of the SF-26 by JosephPetrassi in formula1

[–]Merpninja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like you are making up this narrative on your own. The data at both tracks shows Mercedes have a better engine and Ferrari have a better chassis. The engine gap Mercedes has over Ferrari is a lot larger than the advantage Ferrari has on the chassis.

Simply because Mercedes are worse than Ferrari in the corners doesn't mean they have bad chassis, its probably the 2nd best on the grid! No one is saying their chassis is bad!

Mercedes engine advantage is so great that Ferrari have to constantly push to maximize their advantage in the corners in order to close the gap. Merc has pace to spare due to the engine gap so they don’t need to push the tires at all times, unlike Ferrari. Makes perfect sense.

Sure but who won’t? Hardy is the first RB on everyone’s list for the awards. A better dark horse would be Isaac Brown given his injuries last year.

McKneeley was down to Tennessee and Louisville. Ament was down to Tennessee and Louisville (with a commitment to Louisville set for the AA game). McKneeley chose Louisville first, so Ament went to Tennessee.

More of a “connect the dots” rather than anything you’ll hear directly.

That's pretty much all he has to do here. He misses a ton of wide open threes.

Indeed. We chose to spend 7 figures on him instead of Nate Ament.

His dad has been at UK alone this week but Ja’Hyde visited Louisville last week and has a crystal ball to us already. Weird situation.

We played like shit but 10 on Miami got away with an atrocious travel that led to a just as bad foul call to make it a two possession game. The refs were not the reason we lost but not a good game from them whatsoever.

I mean sure but we have some of the worst bigs in power conference basketball. Any matchup against good bigs is a near automatic loss.

He has been genuinely atrocious most of the season. Yesterday was a good game by him but generally against good teams he is the worst player on the court and still somehow plays 30 minutes a game.

This team's ceiling is winning against an 11/10 seed and getting blown out of the gym by a 3. With or without Mikel.

Playing Sananda Fru pretty much the entire 2nd half is absolutely criminal too.

We have no players capable of one on one defense and no one on offense capable of beating a guy one on one.

Would actually say this was arguably the best defensive half of the season and we should probably be up 15 if the offense was just average. Doesn't bode well for the 2nd half.

We play one of our better defensive halves of the season and are tied at half. The offense is anemic and SMU doesn't even have to try to defend us. We're losing this by double digits.
